The US government has been supporting and arming israel for decades, haven’t you learn already?

The difficult part is organizing enough people.

Governments work hard in preventing people from organizing. Mass media and centralized socials are directly sponsored by the government.

There’s plenty of music available to listen to, entire centuries of music and more hours of music you can possibly listen to. There’s no need to listen and give money to majors.

Sound like the time to tax the rich was from 2016 to 2024. It’s now time to do something else

And now you know why corporations and politicians don’t use mastodon

Stop spilling your hate of Europe

Pushing authoritarian laws and surveillance is being hateful toward europe and everyone who lives there.

and you seem projecting something

You are such a bad faith actor it’s insane.

We are discussing authoritarian laws that limits people freedom and the argument you are using is that “the law is the law”. You are being a bad faith actor yourself as big as the burj khalifa. If we were in nazi germany you would be backing the racist laws because they are laws.

It’s a basic societal understanding that if we live in a society there will be laws to stop bad shit from happening.

There’s more bad shit happening due to weed being illegal, like entire criminal organizations smuggling it which resulted in the government of france trying to ban encryption to fight them.

I’m simply tagging here someone who just yesterday called me out for highlighting authoritarian shit in a thread claiming europe to be “the land of the free”.

I have difficulty to believe people like you dont have an agenda and are not purposefully trolling.

You sound to have a much bigger agenda if you ask me, i’m not taking the side of any authoritarian government or bill here.

easy block potential

You don’t sound too smart and quite prone to lose your patience so i encourage you to engage in arguments with people rather than blocking them.

“Europe is bad actually!” or whatever the fuck nonsense they were arguing about…

We are in a thread discussing a bill aimed at forcing ID verification for certain websites, this is quite bad.

As it currently stands, the morally correct option for food production would probably be for a large amount of the population to starve. That, of course, is also not entirely morally correct.

Considering almost 1.5 billion adults in the world are overweight it wouldn’t be so bad to let some people starve.

Guess what, most if not all veggies and vegans are also doing something morally dubious at best. Factory farming, extensive farming, they’re all bad for the soil, bad for native wildlife, bad for native plants. The societal impacts of factory farming are also not small. In the end, the moral lines people draw are mostly at different places, neither is undoubtedly better than the other.

Animals needs to eat and drink too, the meat industry has the highest tool on the farming industry.

I have personally tried to give up meat twice, once for 6 months and once for a year. On both cases my health suffered massively for it, and I went back to eating meat. I had a cousin who was, for many years, a hardcore vegetarian. She was also of the opinion that eating meat was wrong. A few years ago she reintroduced fish in her diet to overcome health issues after fighting them for years. Most symptoms subsided in a handful of months. I believe she now also eats beef, although infrequently and in small quantities. I’m sorry to be that guy but reality is more complex than whatever moral line any one of us would like to draw. You’re not wrong but it would behoove you to acquire some nuance on your thoughts.

It sound like your diet was off, if you don’t eat animal products you need valid alternatives to complete and balance your diet. In cultures shaped around animal products it may not be automatic or easy to find alternatives. Our ancestors diet for example had less meat and more lentils, in countries were they consume less meat you are most likely to find popular dish with other proteins sources.

What’s with this fixation on rape metaphors?

People fail to realize how evil billionares are and so you have to come up with stupid comparisons. A billion in money is the equivalent of owning hundred of thousands cars or houses, they affect society negatively more than a single murderer would do. Criminality and people losing their shit is partially the result of a society where people are exploited and turn against each other to make profits. Billionares are the ones who sit on top of this rigged pyramid.

if the fairy god mother appeared right now and offered you $1b you would instantly become “one of the greediest human beings on the planet” by your own definition.

Any normal person that wins a billion dollar would keep some for himself and gift or donate the rest with the result that they wouldn’t be a billionare anymore. A billion is simply a ridiculous amount of money, you could buy a castle, invest 100 millions in the stock market and you would still be left with most of it.

hmmm I am increasingly believing how ineffective the USA would be against a real enemy… the USA loves to chicken hawk on third world countries on the other side of the planet…

How do you think they chicken hawk people on the other side of the planet? Are you aware of the scale of USA army and what they do?

they are still in the trillion range even after cuts

“In a world filled with rapists one who raped only a woman is less terrible than someone who raped 10.”

Yes, no shit that he’s less terrible compared to others but he’s still one of the greediest human being on the planet and he doesn’t deserve any praise.
